Building a Better Future...Today marks International Day of the Girl Child: an annual initiative launched by the United Nations to support and empower young women across the globe with the theme this year focused on helping girls overcome adversity.
.
According to UNICEF, 600 million adolescent girls will start work in the next decade and 90 per cent of those living in developing countries will go into informal roles where abuse and exploitation are rife. .
This is what this 2018’s campaign seeks to combat under the theme: "With Her: A Skilled GirlForce", which marks the beginning of a year-long effort to advocate female entrepreneurship and provide young women across the world with the tools they need to carve their own professional paths.

Play time is in short supply for children these days and the lifelong consequences for developing children can be more serious than many people realize. PlayWellAfrica.org/Donate

Play Well Africa has collected over 5000 pounds of @LEGO this year, which is more than double the amount that we took to Uganda last year.
.
BUT we need help with shipping costs! If you; or a person or business you know are willing to sponsor the shipping to get these awesome learning tools into the hands of many much deserving kids around the world, we would love to talk to you!!!
.
We are looking to raise $12,000.

Did you know that today is International Day of Peace - a dedicated day providing a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences.

Our favorite Play Well Africa Ambassador Alicia knows peace! Here she is in Uganda two years ago handing out @LEGO in the rural Village of Kumi, Uganda.

When started Play Well Africa nearly six years ago, it took us at least three months to get a 100 pounds; in the last 72 hours we’ve collected over 300 pounds. Thank you to all that have donated and thank you for all the great notes that come along with your donations. ❤️

How absolutely necessary is it for Kids to be Kids?!? Ask this young lady who’s caring for her sibling. @lego #playwellearth
